Rating Definition:

Excellent with 98% plus original blue finish remaining. There are a few scattered light handling marks. The wood is excellent with light color, attractive grain, and light handling marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with handling and storage marks on the exterior, and some contact wear to the lining.
